Very awesome place to go to get a good pie! The taste and sauce are MMn good! So with that said, will you try this and enjoy!

Italian sandwich

Didn't know what I wanted but the guy at the counter was nice enough to recommend a sandwich and boy was he right this is the best Italian sandwich I've ever had!

First off the manager was a really cool dude, introduced himself to me was curious why I chose this place to eat pizza, super kind and friendly I can see that they care about what customers think of their pizza so that's a plus....well the pizza was very good! Half Margharitta Pizza half Formaggio Combo both delicious! The crust super thin pizza, the pizza sauce different than I've had very tasty! I can also taste some garlic on the crust I believe really good stuff! The buffalo wings definitely a a great choice, try them paired with their homemade ranch was perfect! Super clean inside. If I'm ever in the area again I will be back Forsure! Thank you!

#THANKYOUTHURSDAY Nothing beats a local, small business owner who is cranking out phenomenal, artesian-style pizzas! Can you say YUM! I have been hearing great things about Formaggio Pizza Express located across from Target in the El Dorado Hills Town Center. As well as reading some awesome Yelp reviews including two from fellow Yelp friends Joe Y. and Lillian W. (Both of them can be pretty picky about his/her food:). So I finally had to try it for myself. And, wow, I am sure glad I did! Because i was in the area, I popped in about 3 p.m., last week. Decided to order in person for pick up later that evening and to check things out. Steve was manning the counter. I soon discovered he is the owner too. Nice guy! He was more than happy to share some details about the business. He has been open for a about a year and hires a lot of family members to maintain overall high standards. And his standards include using the highest quality ingredients possible. His delivery range is approximately 4 to 5 miles but if someone is really insistent he may stretch it to 6 or 7 miles. I love how passionate he is about his restaurant! I ordered a 14-inch vegetarian doing half one type of veg and half the other! Not your typical veg either! Unique toppings for sure. Menu board photos included so you may read the pizza offerings and other food/beverage choices. I wanted a 5:15 p.m. pick up and that was not a problem! It was also nice to receive a text when my pizza was ready. Cool! (Btw: Online and phone ordering available.) Bottom line: GREAT pizza! Fresh, hot, perfect crust and a generous amount of toppings! Not a slice was left! Steve has created an affordable take out or delivery, awesome high quality food niche much needed in our area. And for that I am grateful. He also offers a 10% Yelp check-in discount. Woohoo! Stop by and say hi to Steve and experience some really top-notch pizza AND service! As well as that generous "thank you" discount too! Welcome to the hood Steve! Will definitely see you soon.

The pepperoni pizza medium 12"

The FOOD IS EXCELLENT!!!! The service is so friendly and welcoming and the pizza taste so good is a perfect amount of everything and it comes with ranch!! The place was very clean and well decorated.

Cheesy breadsticks. Couldn't get a photo before the kids in the household dug in haha.

We were craving Italian and found Vacanza Romana on Yelp and decided to come give it a try…read more Tucked away in a back corner adjacent to Mimosa House, this restaurant has tasteful decor with booths and tables as well as a lovely patio. We've driven by dozens of times but had never heard of it. We are so glad we found it on Yelp, because the food is great and the service is amazing. The restaurant was pretty much empty when we arrived, with only one table seated. The hostess asked if we had reservations, and we did not. Apparently we just got lucky and got there right before the whole restaurant filled up. Right after we placed our order, it got busy! I would recommend reservations for next time. Ian was our server and he was really great. He knew the menu well and had good suggestions. We started with the focaccia bread which was warm and soft and came with Balsamic vinegar and olive for dipping. It was delicious. For starters, we ordered the meatballs. They come with a crispy bread and a cheesy cream sauce and marinara. So delicious. The meatballs and a Caesar salad with a glass of wine would make for a lovely next meal, so we plan on coming back soon to have that for lunch. For entrees, I ordered the lamb rib ravioli, which is new on the spring menu and was lightly sweet, savory and delicious. Handmade ravioli stuffed with tender lamb meat, garnished with pea shoot tendrils and mint. Do try. My husband had the pappardelle Ragu. It was amazing. Maybe my favorite of what we ordered. It's a rich beef sauce over wide handmade noodles. It's a very comforting dish, rich, savory and beefy. Great with a red wine. We tried the Key lime cheesecake for desert. It was also worth mentioning. We had a great experience and look forward to becoming regulars here.

Dark ambiance, mostly all servers were smiling and seemed happy to be there. We were seated by a friendly hostess and our server greeted us by informing us about alcohol first thing. He came back with water and asked about alcohol again, we ordered appetizers first. He came back and asked about alcohol again and we said we were not going to be drinking and ordered our entrees. He seemed to be the type of server that gave more attention to you if you ordered alcohol, which I why we saw with all the other tables around us. Meatballs for appetizer- 4 count with the most delicious tomato sauce and ricotta layered under it. The meatballs were so tender (pork and beef) the flavor was on point. We wiped the dish clean of the sauce. It is undeniably the best meatballs and sauce I've ever had at any restaurant. I usually don't like meatballs and the marinara sauce anywhere because the meatballs usually lack flavor and the marinara is too tart. The ricotta cheese pair very well with the marinara sauce. Whole branzino over mashed potatoes- spectacular dish. Head and tail on of it doesn't bother you. The dish is so buttery and flaky with the crispy skin. Skin was so flavorful with a hint of lemon juice over it. It was hard to find all the fish meat because it blended in with the mashed potatoes in the dark ambiance. Rigatoni alla Vodka with added Italian sausage- amazing dish. It was probably one sausage total. Ricotta on top was also a nice touch. House made focaccia bread, so soft and fluffy. I would definitely come back to try other dishes.

I don't know how they make it, but it is the best I've ever eaten. To start the meal off, I ordered their tortellini soup. It had a tomato base with creamy cheese tortellini. I'm not a soup person, but I didn't leave a single drop of that soup in the bowl. That's how good it was. Okay back to the main course. I ordered their baked ziti. I ordered this because I have this dish a lot. I was told this restaurant is really good, so I wanted to see what their version of this simple dish was like. It was amazing! I already mentioned the sauce. It also had really creamy ricotta cheese with mozzarella on top. If I was going to be super picky, the noodles were not el dente, but that could be because it was baked. The noodles were not mushy, but a bit soft. The marinara made up for any type of pickiness. I can't even express how much I loved that sauce! You have to try it! The portions are big, so save room for dessert! For desert, I had the coffee almond gelato. It was super creamy and delicious! The iced tea had a great flavor. It was fresh like it was just made.

My husband fell in love with their meat sauce I ordered when we were there in March for a birthday dinner so I thought I'd order him take out dinner tonight as a nice treat since he was working in the area. I called just after 5 pm when they open, but no answer. I get that they are busy so gave it a few minutes and tried again. This time the young gal who answered just picked up and said "hold!" (no greeting, very abrupt & almost angry sounding) and finally came back 10 minutes later (5:18pm, no niceties like "thanks for holding"). I know the menu well so quickly gave her the order with the salad dressing preference. She abruptly told me salad is an extra charge on to go orders (ok, fine) and that the food wouldn't be ready until at least 5:50pm, almost as if she was trying to bait me into canceling the order. I've never been made to feel like such a bother to an establishment that I'm about to give $50 to for a couple take out containers of spaghetti & meatballs. I grew up in the family restaurant business and my parents taught me better customer service skills by the time I was 10. Funny how one bad employee, clearly with a gnarly chip on her shoulder, can make the whole establishment look bad. I'm glad it was my husband who picked up the food because if I had gotten any more attitude, I would've had to use some of my "big girl" words on her.

Don't let the strip mall location fool you--the experience inside is phenomenal. The Food: My Chicken Parmesan was perfectly crispy, and the Pea Agnolotti was savory and luxurious.

Caesar Salad - lots of lettuce, delicious dressing although very little of it, so the salad was very dry. Not one flake of Parmesan on the salad or offered on the side. Very disappointing. Looking at the pictures other patrons posted of their salads, mine was definitely NOT like theirs! Hardly any dressing and no cheese on mine! I also had ordered the agnolotti. The little raviolis were very strange. Some were only partially cooked, many had edges that were hard and inedible. $34 for this? Husband ordered the pomodoro. The pasta had been boiled to death - it was so mushy it was inedible. We both tossed out our entrees after a few bites. We were extremely disappointed, needless to say. This was my after-surgery treat and it was terrible. Out of curiosity, I perused some of the reviews, and the bad ones scared me. The owner's responses were condescending. Two parties stated in their (separate) reviews that they got food poisoning. He went so far as to claim these poor people DID NOT get food poisoning from his restaurant because food poisoning "takes 12 hours or more to set in". That is QUITE UNTRUE! Now we didn't get food poisoning, but our experience along with the owner's outright false statement is enough for us. We shan't be returning. I am also posting the Cleveland Clinic's AND the CDC's SCIENTIFIC FACTS about the time period within which food poisoning can take effect.

I always check yelp first for reviews on gluten free items (gluten allergy). Their flatbread had a gluten free crust option (+ $2) as did their pasta have gf option (+ $2) so nice selection. I had the chicken pesto flatbread without bacon. It was OK. Nice to have a gf crust, tho wasn't the *best* gf crust I've had. Nice/ ample wine selection. Daily happy hour from 3 - 6pm which was nice. Saw advertisements for bingo nights on Thursdays, which sounds fun and can win some wine related items. Staff was very nice as well. Came to hear the music, was nice to not feel rushed out or anything/ staff was very relaxed about us enjoying the table for a couple hours at the time while we had food and wine and the music. Would give slight caution that the caesar salad has bacon on it, which I have never seen before. I ordered the gf flatbread and there was an option to add a side caesar for $5. I did not read the salad area menu to know that bacon came on it. I don't eat pork and had asked for my flatbread to not have bacon and the salad to not have crutons if they put those on; wish the wait staff had mentioned the bacon on the salad bc I had already asked to have the flatbread without and also bc it's unusual imo to have it standard on a ceasar.
